Renting a Musical Instrument
Ritz Music rent-to-buy scheme
Renting is a great way to try out a musical instrument without the risk and expense of buying....
How does it work?
1) Please phone Ritz Putney or Ritz Richmond to check the instrument you need is in stock.
2) Come to the shop with proof of address (Utilities bill or driving licence) and a credit or debit card.
3) There is a simple rental agreement form to complete and an initial payment of 3 months rent (see below).
During the rental period....
1) We provide free servicing and adjustments as and when required.
2) You may swap to a different instrument if you wish.
3) You are responsible for loss or damage to the instrument.
